Five years ago, Six Arab countries protested
in massive peaceful demonstrations to get rid of the
controlling rulers in
2011. In fact, the situation in all the Arab countries is getting worse every
year. Egypt and Tunisia are trying to
build their countries although they find out many difficulties even from some corrupted
people who wanted to put their hands in everything and exploit the
unstable situation for their own benefit instead of building their countries.

On
the other hand, some countries have totally collapsed like Libya and Yemen, as
their central states were powered by foreign policies and some parts raised the
flag of Al Qaeda or any other flag under the umbrella of Islam.
Egypt
is now yet struggling in many ways even before the protest began, and Syria
half of its cities becomes ruins. The fertile lands have been frozen causing
the death of hundreds of thousands in
Syria. Moreover, almost all Syrian
immigrate to foreign countries in empty circle of blood every day.
Arab
spring was a revolutionary wave of demonstrations which started in Tunisia in
2010 spreading
throughout the rest countries.

In Egypt, people protested in Cairo against the
rule of Hosni Mubarak. After brutal crackdown in Tahrir Square, Mubarak handed
power to military council, and referendum showed strong support for
parliamentary and presidential elections. Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim
Brotherhood's Candidate was elected president and the parliamentary election
ended by winning of the Muslim Brotherhood's
freedom and Justice Party.

In Yemen, after the protests began, the
president Ali Abdullah Saleh promised not to seek re-election. Troops killed 45
protesters in Sana'a, the capital. Then, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
(AQAP) captured most of Abyan province and Saleh left Yemen, ceding power to
his deputy Abd Rabbo Mansour Handi. Election held, with Hadi the only candidate

2014
I had a panic attack as a bad omen appeared in
front of me. When the father of Vatican flied away two pigeons and two weird wild
rooks attacked the peaceful pigeons in thanks giving celebrations. I
think my feelings were right!

2015
Terrorism spread all over the world not only in
the Arab countries. But, it extended to foreign lands as well which claim to
have peace, freedom of expression, and democratic governments. They planted
violence in Arab youth and fund this .Consequently, they actually succeeded,
but now is the time when the magic turn on toward the magician. In other words,
we can call 2015 the year of Global conspiracies.
